Re: Do you even lift??

Yes I do.. Every other day I do Bench press/Shoulders/ Biceps/ Triceps/ and Back. On the days I skip for the other day are abs. I've just started working out and so far i've gotten an 8 pack and I went from benching 120 Lb's to 150 Lb's and I weigh 150 Lb's.

I used to live in Hong Kong in my 20's and I fought on the underground circuit in fight clubs. I'm 32 now and retired and married. Wife made me quit, lol. No, I would never fight in a karate tournament because even though it's a good martial art, I feel like Chinese arts are in a different class. You said you take hapkido? That's badass if it's the original Korean version. Masters are deadly with only one or two hits.

Hapkido is Korean and there are many styles of karate but, whatever you learn try to find a original oriental martial art because many american counter parts are watered down. In the 70's during the big kung fu movie era many martial arts got imported here but, most Asian masters didn't trust foreigners with their whole teaching. Since, american martial arts has turned into a popular sport and most are now thought for sport only or self defense. So you have to try to find one suited to your needs. Asian arts>American arts and IMHO Chinese Arts are best. Just don't learn a flashy movie martial art or MMA that stuff is junk. Sorry but it's the truth I know 5 different fighting styles but, I never combine them because it deludes the style.

So that was only a one time thing, and I only know how much I can bench because Cheyenne got me to try that as well. I wasn't into it really weight lifting is too boring and slow for me though. No offence youngsters.

Re: Do you even lift??

15 years old, 5"11, 150lb

5 days a week, depends on how i'm feeling but the regular schedule is
mon, wens, fri - work on the bench press (Seated: 220lb max, regular 140lb max), triceps, and quads
tues, thurs - Biceps (usually curls, low weights like 20lb but high reps), core (planking), hams, and cardio (cardio is only on the thursdays, because i hate cardio with a passion)

Yes asian style is the best, that's the truth, and I agree. Bruce Lee was , to name one great martial artist, all about the practical moves.

Re: Do you even lift??

Never work out, But I can lift a 300lb donkey and carry it to the barn... Not a "work out everyday" guy, but a farmer. There's no need to pointless excercise every day if you just live your life replacing chainsaws with axes, etc. that sort of thing.

lol at this guy's attitude. Your squat weight is average and the fact that you look down on "youngsters" who "never get out of the house" is sad, especially when your location says "on my couch." The people posting in this thread have some solid routines, you sound like a clown trying to make fun of them while they build and post some impressive stats. You don't belong in this thread.

Day 1(pushing motions) usually tuesday
1) Chest
2) Triceps
3) Deltoids

Day 2(pulling motions) usually friday
1) Biceps
2) Lats
3) Traps

Day 3(legs) usually sunday

This is my regimen. Oh and no cables because free weights work your muscles more. Protein shakes are a must for gaining weight.

10 lbs in 7 weeks? Great routine. Props on maintaining that while majoring in biology too, I have some friends majoring in that and chemistry and they study 7 days a week

Re: Do you even lift??

It depends on what I'm doing atm, I've done bulking phases a few times but more recently I've gotten into beachbody programs, did 3 rounds of p90x(not straight, I lifted over the summer) and I wanna do a round of insanity if I can get my hands on the DVDs(without paying 120$ )

When I get into lifting I usually bench like 225(on decline I get like 260 though), besides that I mostly use dumbells, depending on the exersize anywhere between 50 and 110 lbs.
